1.  The price of rice is reduced by 5%. How many kilograms of rice can now be bought for the money, which was sufficient to buy 50 kg of rice earlier?

A. 52.63 kg
B. 50.40 kg
C. 42.30 kg
D. 60.50 kg

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let original price be ₹ 100 per kg.

Money required to buy 50 kg of rice = ₹ (100 x 50) = ₹ 5000

New price = (100 - 5) = ₹ 95 per kg

 Quantity of rice bought = (5000/95) kg = 52.63 kg
